Ha ha ha...Have you seen our stock headers? The front 3 outlets oppose the back 3. Such shit. Anything is better than that. But agreed, these look like shit too. Just get Comptech.

I think the idea is with the "Equal length" theory.

12 more HP than comptech? So lets see...If keith were running these, he'd have a total of 42 HP only from headers. Yea...I'll believe that when I see the dyno sheet.

Got rice, there is a prototype out there that makes 40+ that I've witnessed w/ my own eyes the dyno sheet, problem is the guy wants like 15K for the mold, a close friend of mine that is a member here came close to buying it a few years and was gonna produce but didn't do it. I definately believe that it's possible and have witnessed it, don't know if these will do that though.

I mean if the comptechs have been known to net 28+ on some of the type S application long tube in general should produce more power

Check out bassani headers, kind of the same idea, they are suppose to sell top notch stuff. It might work.

It would be interesting to see a dyno sheet from a member with those headers.

Any word on a price for these?

Wow, these look sweet! Now where is the damn price and availability?

You guys should be looking at the Accord V6 page (unless the CLS headers fit better?). There is also a dyno chart set on that page. +12whp and +15whp gains over Comptech headers is claimed. Those large gains are mostly on the low end, which is understandable. There are some small losses on the top end, but I'll take those for the low end gains. I really want to see an overall chart tho.

You generally do want equal length headers, so you get equal flow. Those kind of headers are common on Mustangs, Camaros, and muscle cars. I'm also pretty sure that most race cars use equal length headers too.
